“Inspiring people to feel beautiful!”
Designer Bio:
Native Nubian Jewelry By Claudette Caviness
What began as a personal hobby has blossomed into a passionate, lifelong pursuit of wearable art. Under the signature line Native Nubian Jewelry, Claudette Caviness utilizes jewelry making as a dynamic canvas for her distinctive, three-dimensional creativity. As a Capricorn—an astrological sign symbolized by the African Nubian goat—Claudette creates unique, hand-crafted jewelry designs deeply inspired by names of African origin, explicitly celebrating individuality while honoring a rich cultural heritage that reflects the beauty and significance of Africa.
The tri-state art and design world has deeply embraced the Native Nubian aesthetic, leading to invitations at prominent cultural events, corporate markets, and elite vendor showcases across New York and New Jersey over the years. These curated spaces have allowed Claudette to connect with a wonderfully diverse collector base, share her passion for intricate structural creativity, and bring her distinct artistic vision to life.
